2015 GL 550
2015 GL 550 DELIVERY OTW!!

Hello MBworld,

I recently pulled a trigger and saw this fresh 2015 GL 550 with OEM 21" black AMG Wheels. What caught my attention the most is the low mileage it has. It only has 37,000 miles on it and clean carfax, regular maintenance, and stayed in California for the entirety of its life(so I'm assuming there will be no rust concerns). I still haven't seen the car and it will be delivered in 2 days.

I want to ask because it is scaring me about horror stories I've been hearing for the past week about concerns with air suspensions, Misfires and etc. I just want to ask how reliable is this? I barely hear a success story stating 100k+ miles and happy customer. I used to own a 2003 CL55 AMG and all the reviews are bad but that car is a beast I drove it from 70k miles to 120k miles with no problem except for the Hydraulic pump around 110k. I wonder if that's a case with 2015 GL 550 X166 too? the nature of seeing all the bad but not the good?

How reliable is 2015 GL 550 with low miles of 37,000 nowadays?
Does anyone have a success story reaching beyond 100k and up with little to no issues?
I also want to know what 3rd party extended warranty is the best to deal with and have the best coverage?
Is there any way to get an extended warranty from the dealership or close to what the dealership has to offer?


The car will arrive in 2 days at my house but I can deny it if it didn't pass my inspection, or upon acceptance, I have 7 days to return the vehicle free of charge. Let me know guys what you think? Thank you so much!
